So have any of you thought of introducing a new sport to the Olympics? I have come up with a few idea's.
(Serious idea) Human survival: Players start completely naked and are placed in a temperate forest region at the very start of the Olympic games. They must survive without any form of help, being allowed to hunt, scavenge and forage for food and supplies. There would be a safety net in case they come into immediate danger or just give up. Winner is the last person to give up, but if the Olympics end before a pair or more of competitors give up, then scoring will be based off a few different things. Fat loss compared to the start of the competition, relative comfort and sustainability that the player has achieved (aka "how long is it estimated you could keep going if the competition were to continue"), relative health of the competitors (are they at risk for disease or malnutrition?) and the rough mental condition of the athlete (are they looking depressed/about to give up or are they cheerful and noticeably comfortable?) Human survival is probably a good sport for many older athletes between 35-60 years old due to the experience needed to win instead of raw physical power. I call this a serious idea because it simply appeals to human instinct and relies upon raw human perseverance to keep going like that for the entire Olympic games (17 days).
There could be variations of this game though. One would be were the competitors are given a few starting supplies like a simple bow+arrow and small hand axe along with a protein bar and some water. I can already see the competitors. A couple guys from the USA, some dude from Ecuador who is going to win easily because he lives like this at all times, Les Stroud who is going to come in second and Bear Grylls who is going to be the first casualty of the event when he tries to wrestle a cougar and is promptly murdered to death by it.
Now if you thought that was a bit crazy, believe me, I was being serious. That would be a great competition! Now here is my NOT SERIOUS idea. Basically teams of competitors must use the bare fists to fight a giant T-rex to death in the stadium. Teams can be as large as 400 people but must use there bare hands. Suggested strategies include sending forward the idiot members of the team so they get eaten first, then construct spears from there bones. Winners are either those who survive for one hour with the T-rex, those who manage to kill the T-rex or the T-rex can even be a winner itself by eating everyone. *pictures a T-rex on the podium getting a gold medal and roaring in happiness*
